<DIV><B>Set in prehistoric Siberia, a &ldquo;psychologically acute and soaringly imaginative&rdquo; novel by a <I>New York Times</I>&ndash;bestselling author (<I>Publishers Weekly</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> In this novel by the author of <I>Reindeer Moon</I>, set in the Paleolithic age, Kori lives among his hunter-gatherer people, guilty with the knowledge that his unborn child is being carried by his shaman father&rsquo;s new wife. Then, Kori impulsively seizes another woman, from a different tribe, after seeing her swimming in a pond&mdash;putting his group in danger. He calls the woman Muskrat, and her customs, beliefs, and language are utterly alien to him. And their relationship may bring either joy or bloodshed&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.<BR /> From an author and anthropologist known for both her fiction and her nonfiction&mdash;including the bestsellers <I>The Hidden Life of Dogs</I> and <I>The Tribe of Tiger</I>&mdash;this is a compelling tale &ldquo;likely to appeal to <I>Clan of the Cave Bear</I> fans&rdquo; (<I>Library Journal</I>).</DIV>
